Stella Gonet, who has been seen onstage in the National productions of Skylight, Racing Demon, and Hamlet, will star in the first London revival in a decade of John Patrick Shanley's Tony-winning Doubt, A Parable.

Directed by Ché Walker, the limited engagement will run September 6–30 at the Southwark Playhouse.

About playing Sister Aloysius Beauvier, a conservative head nun who questions a priest’s ambiguous relationship with a troubled young student, Gonet said in a statement, “I was so excited to read this play. It is an amazing, page turning, perfectly paced thriller, with brilliantly written roles. The chance to pull out the complex strands of Sister Aloysius and examine them, that certainty of hers, the shaking of that certainty, it’s the sort of challenge you hope to get at least once in your career.”

She will be joined onstage by Clare Latham (Danny and the Deep Blue Sea) as Sister James,
Jo Martin (Trade, The Rolling Stone) as Mrs. Muller, and
Jonathan Chambers (Macbeth, The Atheist) as Father Brendan Flynn.
